Swacina is only listed under Batting and 1st Base Fielding.
Baltimore Pitchers listed under the Pitching stats: Quinn (339.1 IP), Suggs (318.1 IP), Conley (125.1 IP), Bailey (129.1 IP), F. Smith (182 IP), and Wilhelm (238 IP).
Sorry, Spritze, love your work but at least for 1914 and Swacina's pitching I'm not seeing it. I also tried the Spalding Guide for 1915 but couldn't find the Federal League listed there. |
1909 with both the Tri-State League and the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League is the same. There is no evidence in the 1910 Reach American Base Ball Guide that Harry Swacina threw a ball in anger from the mound. He has hitting stats and first base fielding stats in there, but no pitching stats. Unless those are to be found in the Spalding Guide, I'm not sure I buy Swacina's 1909 OOTP pitching stats. As others have said Spritze, I love your work, in fact I would go so far as to say that outside of Markus and Andreas, nobody has put more work into this fine game than you. That doesn't mean that Swacina's pitching stats in 1909, or any other year, are above questioning.
